About a week and a half ago I was in a motorcycle accident. None of my injuries were too serious, and after the healing process is complete, I may not even have a scar - which is too bad as it is my understanding that "chicks dig scars." Here is my list o' problems: sprained ankle, broken nose, road rash on my left side (including my face), non-perminant damage to the veinus system in my left hand, damaged ego, and a whopper of a concusion. I'm doing very well now and am back at work. However I was wondering if anyone experienced similar issues (namely returning to the dojo after a serious bonk to the mellon), and what advice they might have about when to return.
To elevate any non-budo follow-ups here is what happened: A late 80s four door Ford LTD blew a stop sign. The driver never stopped or slowed the vehicle, and fled the scene. In an attempt to not get schmucked by the car, I dumped the bike (and was knocked out for a couple of hours) at about 35 mph. I was not wearing a helmet (and am well aware of the pros and cons of this decision - I have a brand new helmet and promise to wear it). After completely discribing the car, the police found it parked about a block and a half from the accident. It is registered to a sixteen year old girl, who probably never even knew that I was there. As she left no "evidence" the police plan to show up at her house with about six officers and three squad cars to scare the crap out of her.
Please let me know your qualified opinions about training after a concusion as I am very eager to get back. Thanks in advance for your advice and concerns.
